was taken out of the hands of the party con-

The record shows that the saloons and

is supporter of Dr. Edenharter.
This is the result of a brief and very hur-

TIE VIRGINIA CONTENTION.

The Democratic Convention of Nir.
ginia, which met at Roanoke yester-
day, was presided over by Hon. John
Goode, and addressed by Mr.. Barbour,
Senator Daniel, Lieutenant Governor
Massey, Mr. Goode and others.
The platform indor:cs the admins
trotion Of Grover Cleveland as "honcst,

ests and pledges the party 10 the pro.
lection of the oyster industry.
1t advises q repeal of the internal
revenue system and continuation OF
the tariff on imports, wherein the De.
mocracy Of Virginia differ radically
from their brethren in other portions
of the country. 1t Is to be remem.
bered, however, that the tariff Is more
of local than national issue, and
that Of all the war measures the impo.
sition of taxes on whisky and tobacco
is the most odious throughout the
South, while protection TO the reviving
industries of that section Is naturally
demanded.
The position of the Virginia Demo.
Gratis on this question is what they con.
slider most consonant with the devel
opment of their interests. They ara
not to be blamed for not lookin,
through the same spectacles as tn,
Democrats of Ohio.
Altogether the platform is sensible
and strong. 1t would have been greatly
improved by an enlargement of the
plank respecting immigration, for 1t is
not alone the pauper element our Gov
crnment has TO guard against, The
convention could have safely gone as
far in this direction as the Ohio Repub-
lican Convention, and If the Democracy
generally are wise they will come to
this point yet. The issue of American
Home Rule is of too great importance
TO be let 60 in such an Indifferent way
and fall into the grasp of the opposi.
tion.
There is time enough yet for proper
declaration on this great question. In
the meantime the Democracy Of Vir-
ginia are to be congratulated on their
substantial harmony.
The Washington critic., 1887-08-05
MHAT STALL IL RE 2

There is aspirlt of unrest abroad
in the District that bodies at no distant
day some radical change in the form OF
the District Government. Not that
our local affairs may not be wisely and
efficiently managed under the present
system, but so long as the citizens of
any community are denied direct
voice In the management of their mu.
nicipal interests there is bound to be
more or less discomfort; and discomfort
breeds agitation and agitation breeds
revolution. 1t was taxation without
representation that led to American In
dependence. Still, the people of the
District of Columbia should ponder
long and well before rising in insurrec.
tion against the legislative control of
Congress.
That Is fixed by the Constitution.
What then? How many people of
the District-permanent residents and
property holders-would vote to go
back to the territorial system of
1914, with an appointive Governor
and Consul and an elective House OF
Delegates?
Has not experience gone to show
that the present Commissioner system
is much to be preferred?
The better plan, perhaps, If the great
body of the people could be made to
believe 1t, would be to lodge the I'd
ministratiye power In one man and
hold him TO the single responsibility.
Such a position would call for the
highest order of ability, but it's the
highest order Of ability that the Dis.
trici needs.
Congress must continue to furnish
all desired legislation, but there is
neither reason nor necessity for di.
viding up the executive functions
necessary to the enforcement Of the
laws. One man Is no moEe an autocrat
than is the rule of three men an
autocracy, and one man, of the proper
nerve and sagacity, could exercise all
the powers that are now exercised by
three men, with less friction. less com
plant, less danger of intrigues and
conspiracies and ring influence.
1t may come to this eventually, but
1t will be long time before the citizens
of the District are invested with the
franchise. The franchise could not be
safely granted to every man of voting
age In this District. II could only be
given on conditions and qualifications
that would be-antagonized as uni Dem.
ocratic, and lead TO factions and dl
visions far worse than now exist.
Under all the circumstances, then, were
1t not best of all to let well enough
alone?
